Today is the 80th straight day of me emailing my Congressman, Tracey Mann, trying to convince him to support Uncapping the House. Here is today's letter. #projectnocap

“The entire system is structured to perpetuate power.” That’s the core problem with Congress today. It’s focused on protecting incumbents, enforcing party loyalty, and sustaining the two-party duopoly—not on representing the American people and upholding the Constitution. Spoke about “The Two-Party Problem” last month at @richmondforum with @AndrewYang and @Sen_JoeManchin. What one change to the rules or incentives would you make first to actually fix it? Your thoughts 👇

Thank you @RepMann Regarding point 2: Look at Dunbar’s Number. The senate is a deliberative body because it is below his observed tribal limit of 150. House was not intended to be that. Never will be that. Adding more doesn’t change that. Factions are a feature, not a bug. Committee work is key. And state/regional caucus and AI secure infrastructure builds. Re 1: dead wrong. Replace 3 executive branch bureaucrat with 1 legislative staffer (terminable at will). Save money. Final note. Do you like the executive branch spying on the legislature and not being able to spy back? Sounds weak to me.

After 76 days, he finally responded...to my Electric Needle Room email address, but it's still progress. Here was his response and my response back to him this afternoon. Thank you @RepMann for responding, but I hope you continue to hear me out. :) #projectnocap

Could happen if you paired it with a bill Uncapping the House. Would also probably earn @SenateGOP a supermajority in the midterms. No way @TheDemocrats can come out against an Uncap and not suffer harder than not tackling first. Sausage requires grinding disparate but related ingredients. Perhaps add a citizenship question to census (but still apportion based on all souls) and have census workers also register all citizens to vote….

58 days and no real response. But I persist, writing my Congressman, Tracey Mann, every single day. He has yet to give me one reason why he currently does not support Uncapping the House. #projectnocap

Former US Senator @BenSasse explains that Congress was designed to check ambition. Today, he argues, ambition often drives it—as members grandstand and avoid risk to stay in office. Watch the full episode of @UncKnowledge with host @P_M_Robinson below: x.com/HooverInst/sta…
Hoover Institution@HooverInst

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short. Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life. The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance. He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

Today is the 54th day of writing my Congressman every single day about Uncapping the House. He has still not responded to to my question about why he currently does not support Uncapping the House. @RepMann like bruh? Why ya gotta be like that?
